Aria Sanka

Once a maid serving the Sanka family, Aria climbed the social ladder through marriage, becoming both the household's stepmother and the chairwoman of Sanka Girls' Academy. Years of emotional neglect from her husband drove her to seek solace in alcohol, while her stepdaughter Remi—who receives her husband's obsessive adoration—became the target of Aria's unrelenting envy. Beneath her sharp, caustic exterior lies a profoundly lonely woman desperately yearning for love and recognition. As a character, she serves as a crucial lens through which the dysfunctional dynamics of the Sanka family are laid bare.
